K, thanks for the answer. I still think it's a real shame but at least now I understand the reasons behind it. Didn't know coding for hl2 was that different than from HL1.

Why is it you're building this game on the HL1 engine? I just don't get it. Why make a new mod on an engine that is over a decade old. And sure, it was a good one. But the new source engine is good as well. And every pc can handle the source engine nowadays. I find it hard to believe some people out there (who play games, even if only casual) wouldn't be able to run the mod if it were on source.

All the stuff you can do on the HL1 engine u can do on the HL2, and it will look better. Even getting an active community will be hard for a HL1 mod. I have HL1 (and 2), and i love Naruto and always longed for a naruto game on pc. Yet I just can't get myself to play that naruto mod. And i know graphics aren't everything, but i can't accept the reasons. What are the down sides to using the source engine? why choose to have worse graphics. I don't play the mod because i don't feel connected to the mod team's desires.

Do please, don't make the same mistake!

It's quite a nice concept, but needs a bit more work.

Even though dancing lines are a funky effect, it's not that beautiful and a bit annoying. I would replace it by just using a diffuse shader. No need for textures. It would also allow you to remove the seizure warning :).

Mouse input in the menu's would also be handy. Took me "a while" first time i tried to quit the game. Was trying to click quit with my mouse but nothing happened.

Furthermore there should be a way to customize keys. In the game would be the most professional approach, but easier to implement would just be a config file. In Belgium (where i live) we use azerty keyboards. So forward would be Z for me instead of W, and left would be Q instead of A. A Bit anoying to play like this.

And last, I discovered a small bug. In level 3 (if i'm not mistaken) there's a really big room with those tiles where you fall through. In the middle of the room it saved a checkpoint, in a bad location. Each time i "respawned" i fell down straight away. Made me have to quit and start over.

Let's try this out shall we :) Original idea

Don't know how far game production is, but can't wait to see some ingame screenshots!

Game area looks really good. Simple, yet amazing. The GUI could use some work though. Looks old. Reminds me of hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ... Uplink: hacker elite.

Either way, deffinatly gonna try this game out once it's released!

I used to play this game with friends, until one of them discovered that changing damage and speed rates on his pc, effected his online ability as well.

Is this still how it is? Or have there been patches? Talking about freelancer itself, don't know about this mod.
